Antrim / Re: Antrim Hurling

Quote from: SaffronSports on February 11, 2024, 04:53:46 PMWhat even happened with the goal? It looked like he was waving it over the bar then it's right in the goalmouth? Second half I thought Antrim were brilliant

Goalie pulled ball down from going over the bar with his stick and it dropped in behind the line
Forward came in an fouled him afterwards but by that time he was picking ball out of net area just behind the line.
Bad mistake but like most of these things there was plenty of players outfield that fumbled ball and lost possession leading to scores.
Between that and the Dublin physio delaying play and the time not added on, it was a sick way to lose the points.

Good to have Campbell and mc Kenna back, some of the new players struggled but let's judge them after a full league campaign.

what happens if it comes to a united ireland vote and someone does not vote could sinn fein order masked men to beat them up. or the dup order loyalists to beast someone up whos not voted in the shankill
Yeah that'll happen.

Pity Jeffery didn't acknowledge when looking at voting electoral info that 79% of people that did vote didn't vote for the DUP.

Quote from: general_lee on January 23, 2024, 01:58:17 PMDPF deletes aren't legal though are they? Are they detectable at MOT?

If the MOT brings emissions test back in for diesel engines all the deleted software has to be reinstalled with whatever parts/filters needed replaced initially.

the person doing the deleting will say they'll never know who actually done the remapping. 

If the MOT did an emission check it's for smoke density and NoX
A badly serviced car with no delete will be harder to get through than a low mileage or well serviced DPF free car with good compression and injectors. DPF deletes has been about since 2009 and every year the motor trade hears about emission test and it's never happened. But if you inclined to be careful of such things best to keep your car as it is and clog up the internals if your commuting round town all week.

Quote from: 5times5times on January 12, 2024, 11:21:35 AMAny of you men here owned a mid 10s BWM 420/430D? And is it actually true cars are cheaper in England?
I have a 2017 420d xdrive, the 5 door one (grand coupe). I haven't had any issues so far apart from the constant call backs because of the EGR problems. They finally replaced the whole unit just before Christmas though. I like it, handles really well and it's nice to drive.
I have a mate who has the 3 door 430d which is 2014 and he had a massive issue with it last year, 2 grand problem. Can't remember the actual problem though and it was high mileage. He stills loves it though.
Are the EGR problems related to the type of driving ie town driving v motorway driving? I know town driving is not ideal for diesel engines.

My Mrs has a 2019 118d and EML starting coming on just as 12 month warranty ran out (classic woman completely ignored it and just drove on anyway). She only commutes about 12-14 miles each day and presuming the previous female owner was doing the same as the mileage wasn't high when she bought it.

Maybe get it mapped and the EGR bypassed?

With me working from home a lot more now I've started getting bother from the EGR due to short runs to and from schools etc and no long commutes so time to get it mapped out, hopefully soon.

Thing goes like an absolute pig every once in a while with the engine management light on and off all the time.

Get a EGR delete done and if your planning on keeping the vehicle a DPF delete as well. Autotune will remove the filter material from the DPF and fit blanking plate to EGR and map your PCM accordingly. City driving for modern diesels just isn't practical. The DPf and EGR circuit never gets up to the required temps for burning off particulates which is 600 degrees plus.

Can you elaborate  on what these involve? Does  this need done at a    dealership or  just a local mechanic?

My Commute is  short , so since I've got mine  , I've taken the car for a  good motorway drive every 3-4 weeks to Blow out  any dirt from the DPF filter.

So far ,  i haven't had any  bother.  But want to be prepared  in case  I do get any signs of trouble

Dealership won't do as it contravenes euro 6 emissions laws but as someone once told me they are literally trying to make an engine eat it's own shi..e.
If you motorway driving twice a week the DPF is getting to temp where it can do its job.
There are specialist businesses out there that will do deletes. With the proper mapping capability to disable the EGR and DPF functions, result is no blockage and turbos etc getting an easier life. I mentioned one company in Ballymena I've used with good results. It's a preference thing, do you want some trouble free motoring or a car that complies with current EU emission laws. These are never checked at M.O.T or anywhere else and companies like VW have been caught in the past with trick PCMs doing it anyway. I could bore you with details like the DPF is left with the cat converter part intact to keep turbo back pressure consistent buts it's irrelevant. A DPF replacement can range from 600 to a grand, a DPF delete is usually less than 400 and does for life. I'm not recommending anything but for me it's a option I always went for. The same goes for EGR delete.

Quote from: seafoid on January 22, 2024, 10:11:49 PMBenji is on the way out. Gal Eisenkrot is with Benny Gantz's party and he made an important speech on thursday claiming that Benji's plan for Gaza was nuts and that there was no military solution. The Yanks have pressured him to pull out of Gaza and the EU are also dissing him.


He's a nut job but in fairness that whole nation seem to be psychopaths, ironically only matched by Hitlers Germany. I'm pretty sure history will repeat itself when two generations later the actions of their beloved IDF will viewed on as one of eternal shame. As for the US and Britains contribution words fail me.

Quote from: Mario on January 23, 2024, 08:03:04 AMThe football pod back today. 1 free show and 1 behind the paywall every week. I enjoy listening to the lads but it's a bit Dublin/Kerry centric. Shown today by the fact they spent more time talking about Dean rocks retirement than they did talking about the all Ireland club final.

I see The Irish Examiner hurling podcast with Anthony Daly is behind a paywall now, was free last year until the championship. It can be decent, mind you they go out of their way at times to show how much "craic" they are having 

I use to listen to this but paying Spotify should be enough. Once the tenner a month came- bye bye

Would have more respect for Kurtz TBH, in the book and the film he does reflect on his actions and recognizes the impossibility of redemption when he's  gone to far. There is some correlation in the horror of colonialism and imperial plunder.

The quad is on


Not really getting to cocky, drawing 0-0 with man utd will keep that squad grounded for rest of season.

Quote from: Hound on January 06, 2024, 09:51:26 AMComments by Tánaiste Martin in the last 24 hours:

- there is an urgent need for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza
- there should be an unconditional release of all hostages
- there needs to be urgent safe and unhindered humanitarian access into the enclave
- long-term peace in the region can only be achieved through a commitment to a two-state solution
- recent comments by Israeli government ministers calling for the resettlement of Palestinians outside of Gaza are utterly unacceptable and inflammatory
- Gaza is Palestinian land and is an integral part of a future state of Palestine

Extremists on both sides won't be happy and Benjamin may even give us another shoutout, but good to see our government being more outspoken than most in the EU. 'Utterly unacceptable' is strong words and we are pushing in the background for a stronger EU stance, which has been extremely weak to date. The fear of saying something that might be re-cast as being anti-Semitic is a weapon Israel use to great effect.

20k deaths too late. That's pathetic. Martin is famous as a fence sitter, he waits to see what way the wind blows and then he jumps in. The man is a weakling with no principles. I actually have more time for Varadkar than him. Nothing he has said has ever impressed me.

Of course he could publically back South Africa's referral to the ICC then I would be impressed, but of course he hasn't the balls to do that.

+1
One of the most deplorable things was Martin visiting the kabutz with Israel officials and refusing to condemn the bombing.
He's our Ritchie Sunak in respect of " couldn't care less what my electorate thinks". One thing about this whole sorry mess including oct the 7th is that political systems now protect these leaches when they reach office from the very people that put them there.
